| As a Jewish man, I was furious reading that post but your reply cooled me down a bit. I hope you have a great week! |

| TheBroadwayMaven seems like a hacker of sorts, here only to see what controversy can be stirred up. They're best ignored. | |

| I don't think TheBroadwayMaven's intention was to stir controversy. I think he naively posted it, without realizing that it could be offensive. The post wasn't well-considered, but I don't think it was purposely malicious. As mentioned in his post, it comes from his latest "Broadway Maven Weekly Blast" email, where he is promoting a class he is giving on Assassins, and he included these same comments in that email. Like many people, TheBroadwayMaven likes to find connections between their own ethnic group and whatever topic is under discussion. Usually, they seek positive connections, but they are also intrigued by negative connections if it's safely in the past, just as someone might be interested to learn that they are distantly related to an infamous historical figure. |

| 1. Were this post in isolation, I might agree with you about the purpose but it seems like every post they have made on this board has had a controversial element (and has felt clickbait-y). 2. I have not clicked through so I was not aware of the promotion of a class. Hmmm. |
